That was posted in a Thaddeus protect thread, and I was bored at work so I was reading it. I got to page 19 on Holds and I saw this:

"If the special ability on a card explains how cards get on that card and how cards get off of that card then that takes precedence over any “hold” ability on that card and a “hold” ability on that card should be disregarded."

I should be able to place any number of Evil Characters on The Darkness, then. It specifies how cards get on it, and how cards get off it, so I should disregard the "Holds (1 Evil Character)" ability, right?

The Darkness (AW)
Type: Fortress • Brigade: None • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Place an Evil Character from hand face down here. If an opponent begins a rescue attempt and chooses a blocker (or is unblocked), you may reveal this evil character. Blocking player may add it to the battle. Otherwise return it face down. • Play As: Place an Evil Character from hand face down here. At the beginning of battle, if an opponent begins a rescue attempt and chooses a blocker (or is unblocked), you may reveal this Evil Character. Blocking player may add to battle the Evil Character else return it face down. The Darkness may hold one Evil Character. • Identifiers: Play to territory. • Verse: John 3:19 • Availability: Angel Wars booster packs (Ultra Rare)

That obviously is not an accurate description of how holding works.

Holding is not a special ability anyway, but a description of the card's attributes.  What the special ability is supposed to "replace" is the standard default of putting cards into or taking cards out of that Fortress during your Prep Phase.  The limits listed on the card still apply.

Hey,

http://www.freewebs.com/redemptionne/AlmanacofSpecialAbilities%5B2010-01-02%5D.pdf
That was posted in a Thaddeus protect thread, and I was bored at work so I was reading it. I got to page 19 on Holds and I saw this:

Sorry, I should have included a link to the disclaimer when I gave a link to the document.  The disclaimer is as follows:

"This is the first publicly available version of the 2010 REG. It is only a draft. It is not complete. IT IS NOT OFFICIAL. This is intended only as a preview."

Holds in particular is a new "ability" and has a few more kinks to work out before the official release.

Tschow,

Tim "Sir Nobody" Maly
